Swedish Elmer Söderblom put his team one step closer to victory in the first period with a wrist shot that beat Philadelphia goaltender Daniel Vladar to make it 1–0.

His teammates then took over and scored two more goals to make it 3–2 before the game ended.

However, Philadelphia still leads the series 3–2 and is therefore one win away from a quarterfinal spot.

Round of 16:

Pittsburgh–Philadelphia 3–2 (Philadelphia leads the series 3–2).

Utah – Vegas 4–5, in overtime (series tied 2–2).
